There are some great natural oils in this product but,it looks like a lot of unnecessary chemicals as well!! Always read and UNDERSTAND the label. Don't take any one's word for face value unless you know for a FACT the product is handmade with no chemical additives!! Best way to know is to do it yourself. :)

I bought the hype a few years ago, and bought this for my long hair. Within one week, my entire scalp was flaky, and itching and while my hair looked great, it became clear after many trials that this stuff was not good for me or my hair or my scalp. I called and quit the company and got some money back. They sounded shocked that I was having so many problems, but I bet they have had other complaints. I totally agree with you, some good oils, but alot of bad chemicals with nasty side effects.
